Course objectives
The course aims to introduce questions in field of selected socially risky phenomena that can be encountered in the field of social policy and social work. Students are introduced to the basic biological, psychological, sociological and combined social deviant theories and specific social phenomena that represent risks for society or the individual.
Learning outcomes
These lectures and seminars lead students to (1) a sensitive perception of currently risky situations and actions of individuals and groups and to reflect the degree of seriousness of their occurrence; (2) identify state and non-state organizations intervening in these situations and their strategies, and (3) connect loaded theoretical knowledge with concrete situations and phenomena and be able to analyze the existence and causes of actually existing social risk phenomena in the field of social policy and social work.
